Delhi to Host Its First International Hemp Festival

What is It?

Yes, you read that right. Plans have been approved for Delhi to host the first edition of the International Hemp Festival {IHF}.

A collaboration between the Delhi government and indie label The Hemp Collective, the IHF will be a celebration of all things hemp {and some things cannabis}, and will showcase Indian and international companies. Expect over 40 stalls and brands, from around the world.

IHF had initially been scheduled for Apr 20, but due to logistical strains it has been pushed back to late May.

For those among you going to celebrate the plant, and not its derivative products, fret not. A section has been distinctly marked aside, and will feature a host of smoking paraphernalia, gadgets and gizmos. If you're looking for us, this is where we're going to be.

Anything Else?

There will of course be live music, a few game stalls, and what hemp festival is complete without food? The munchies shall be strong at this one, and as such the IHF has done us all a favour with plans for a huge food court, situated at the centre of the festival. With spots still available for restaurants, we expect the size of this food section to grow and grow till the big day arrives.

Where: JLN Stadium

When: Late May {TBA}

Note: Hey! While we're hoping that this comes true soon, this post was entirely some light-heartedness on the occasion of April 1. Happy April Fool's!
